* Mattias Jönsson: Machine Learning in the real world

The interest in machine learning and artificial intelligence has exploded over the last couple of years, and the availability of tools, techniques and research are at an unprecedented high. Plenty of tutorials on how to use all kinds of techniques are easily accessible through a simple web search, and in-depth online learning is available free of charge.

Azure of course has a huge, and ever-increasing, selection of services to support AI & ML workloads, but it can be a daunting task to understand where to start. With examples from AI/ML cases in the real world, the talk will try to highlight some of the most challenging areas, including business and data understanding, data preparation and evaluation and their implications on the machine learning activities. The talk will give a good understanding on how to get started with your own AI/ML initiatives in Azure.

* Jóhann í Dali: Hololens in the real world

A short overview of the device and it's inner workings. A look at what it takes to make an application for the HoloLens and then a look at how and where the HoloLens has been implemented in real life over the last 2 years. We'll also have a look at what is currently know about the next version, currently scheduled for release in 2019. Among the interesting things is an onboard DNN chip. There will be time during the breaks to try out the HoloLens in person.
